2017 Mirage G4 SE Wine Red
I just purchased a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE CVT in Wine Red and love it. I traded my 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage ES CVT with Navigation and the updates are extensive. The interior on the 2017s have so many upgrades such as seat fabric material, interior piano trim, seat support, sound insulation, new gauge cluster, new steering wheel, new audio unit with apple car play and android auto, 4 more horsepower and a new roller cam shaft, new suspension updates, smoother idle, fender insulation, heated seats, auto dimming rear view mirror, wide angle rear view camera (G4), rear fold down arm rest with cup holders and even the way the shifter feels going into gear is much smoother. The updates are amazing in making this car feel more substantial.
I got the Light Gray interior which adds a level of class to the interior and added the Mitsubishi Center Console Armrest for 138.95 (my 2015 had it installed). The room inside the G4 is unreal, its huge and the trunk is cavernous!!! I also love the dark chrome alloy wheels and matching front grill. This paint color (Wine Red) is so unique and classy looking.
I had no issues with my 2015 and only traded for the upgrades and the deal I got on this 2017 Top Trim G4 SE. It was 18,115.00 and I got it for 12,714.00!!! Beat that Nissan Versa (for a fully loaded top trim). We absolutely love our 2016 Outlander Sport GT and 2017 Mirage G4 SE!!!
While driving in town the ride is much more quiet and takes bumps with less of a thud and the idle is 50% smoother and quieter. The seats feel extra stuffed and the material is for sure much more premium feeling. The Apple Car Play alone is one of my favorite features and props to Mitsubishi for incorporating that!!!
I have owned a lot of new cars over the years and never has one resonated with me like the Mirage has so much in fact that I traded my 2015 on a 2017 and will only buy Mirages from this day forward!
Past Vehicles:
2015 Mitsubishi Mirage ES, 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS, 2010 Kia Soul Exclaim, 2008 Hyundai Sonata, 2005 Chevy Cavalier, 2003 Hyundai Accent GT, 2002 Kia Rio, then I owned 2 used cars, 1997 Dodge Stratus and 1989 Ford Probe.
I feel Consumer Reports, KBB and many other reviewers could not be more wrong about the Mitsubishi Mirage and Mirage G4. I would know since I have owned the Hatchback and the Sedan. I have loved both of my Mirages more than any other vehicle I have ever owned. The Mirage is made to achieve good fuel economy, cheap price, reliability, many standard features and it beats the competition in all of those categories (plus they never tell you that you can eaisly get 2,000.00 to 4,000.00 off window sticker with rebates and sales). Just go online and read owner reviews and that will give you a true perspective of how owners love their Mirage and many have bought second ones. I drove the competition (Spark, Versa, Fit, 500, ForTwo) and the choice was a no brainer for me. With the 10/100,000 warranty, standard features on my SE such as auto dimming rear view mirror, push start, pw, pl, pm, cruise, heated seats, apple car play android auto, auto climate control, cvt, huge rear seat in G4, huge trunk, auto up down driver window, 7 airbags, keyless access with button on door and trunk lid, fog lights and much more!!! The window sticker on my G4 with the optional rear spoiler was 18,115.00 and I got it for 12,714.00 for a fully loaded top trim brand new car is unbeatable. I never had a single issue with my 2015 Mirage and only traded it on a 2017 for the new updates and got the G4 instead of the hatchback. Plus I fell in love with the Wine Red color that is like a dark cherry in some light but when the sun hits it it turns magenta. If you are thinking of getting a Mirage drive one yourself and dont listen to these reviewers that drive Mercedes, Lexus and BMW each and everyday which in turn gives them a tarnished opinion of normal cars like this that most people can afford. I am so glad I did not listen to the review of the Mirage (I almost did not drive one because of the negative reviews) because when I drove it I loved it.
My advice is go for it, get a Mitsubishi!…

I bought this car after my 2002 Grand Am died on me. I absolutely love it. It looks tiny, but has so much room. Its pretty but not too fancy. Its a perfect car at a perfect price.…

Best bang for the buck!

I am never one to listen to Consumer Reports. They have no clue! This car is amazing! Im getting 38.2 MPG with mixed driving on the crowded South Florida roads. I am 62 and this car is quite roomy. Plenty of room in the backseat as well. Great technology like backup camera, bluetooth, automatic climate control. Very comfy seats. Wonderful warranty. Looks nice in the wine red color I selected. Decent sized trunk as well. I am so happy with my purchase. Feels much bigger than it is. And yes, perhaps the 1.2L, 78 hp, 3 cyl. is a tiny engine but the miles per gallon and amazing turning radius more than makes up for it. Great job Mitsubishi!…
